The Great InvocationA World Prayer by Alice A Bailey &
Djwhal Khul

What is the Great Invocation?
The Great Invocation is a World Prayer, an invocation for light
and love, and is used globally as act of service to humanity
to aid the Plan of God to find full expression on Earth.

Two versions are presented here - the original version released
in 1945 by Alice Bailey and The Tibetan, Djwhal Khul, and the
newer adapted version to accommodate the world's changing consciousness.

Original
1945 Version
by Alice A Bailey & Djwhal Khul...

The
Great Invocation

From
the point of Light within the Mind of God
Let light stream forth into the minds of men.
Let Light descend on Earth.

From the point of Love within the Heart of God
Let love stream forth into the hearts of men.
May Christ return to Earth.

From the centre where the Will of God is known
Let purpose guide the little wills of men -
The purpose which the Masters know and serve.

From the centre which we call the race of men
Let the Plan of Love and Light work out
And may it seal the door where evil dwells.

Let Light and Love and Power
restore the Plan on Earth.

From
the centre where the Will of God is known
Let purpose guide all little human wills -
The purpose which the Masters know and serve.

From

Let the Plan of Love and Light work out
And may it seal the door where evil dwells.

Let
Light and Love and Power

Note on the
adapted version:
(italics show where the changes were made).

The 'offending'
words which were modified are:
- "man". (This word is actually Sanskrit
for 'one who thinks')
- "Christ" (This word actually refers to divine
consciousness)
The adapted version replaced "man" and "Christ"
with to a general misunderstanding of the true meaning of
these words by many, which caused 'objections'. The
words were modified so that they preserved their original
meaning and intent, whilst making it more 'palatable' for
some.
